Thanks to everyone who is obsessed with food, for making this such a huge success. I'd like to thank you all, and god, and my dog, and my cousin's cousin's sister's auntie's husband for making it all worthwhile

“Cooking” is a bit of a misnomer, because all you need to do is bung it all in the blender and whizz it until it’s the consistency you want. Ta dah! I think it’s even nicer the next day when the ingredients have had the chance to get to know each other. It’ll keep in the fridge for a few days (but not much longer).

No garlic missfran? Maybe that's why mine didn't taste so good cos i used it?

I've been reading an interesting book about the history of Italian cooking - it turns out that the orthodox Genovese pesto ingredients - basil, olive oil, cheese - is a fairly recent dictate. Cookbooks up to 100 years ago all listed pestoes involving coriander, fennel, no nuts, walnuts, ricotta, all kinds of things.

My aunt and her husband are coming to stay tomorrow, which will be lovely, except that I offered to cook dinner and have only now realised that I have never cooked for any member of that side of the family and have no idea what they like/don't like or what to make. What's a good safe veggie option that's unlikely to cause controversy, but will still be tasty and yum?

So basically, make it up as you go along.

One of my most memorable holiday moments was on a cycling trip in Italy, pulling up to a campsite on the outskirts of Genova and riding through fields of basil. The smell was fantastic and the pesto pasta that night was so so good

Wouldn't mind having a go at rocket or a corriander pesto either. THis is making me very hungry

We had homemade chips, baked beans and a big fat pork chop! We've been having much less meat lately so I thought we deserved a treat.
